The first known air crash happened in Greece. It was when Icarus in the Greek mythologi crashed in the sea with the wings his father, the great inventor Daedalus, had made from wax and feathers.All plane crashes happens for the same reasons (one or more)which made Icarus fall in the sea with his wings:►Poor cooperation (Icarus didn't listen to his father)►Overestimation of the craft (thrusted the wings completely, without to check them)►Presumption (enjoyed the feeling of being able to fly and thought he could manage anything)►Attacking enemies (King Minos and the guards arrows - didn't hit Daedalos and Icarus though)

It was Kleanthis Tatras, the President of the Air Technicians association here in Greece, who told this today on TV and I think it's quite incredible that all of today excisting threats for a plane crash are written in the old fairy tale.
